City of Vancouver Noise Control By-law Review – share your ideas by May 30, 2023!

The City of Vancouver is reviewing its Noise Control By-law. This is a complex, multi-year project aimed at updating the language and structure of the By-law, as well as reviewing and updating regulations.
City staff are seeking public feedback on the noise-related issues in Vancouver to better understand residents’ areas of concern and also to determine residents’ understanding of the current regulations. The City supports the balance of protecting the public’s right to enjoy public spaces without unreasonable noise nuisances, while also supporting economic and cultural activity and growth.
Phase I of the Noise Control By-law review is focused on:
- Updating the By-law to make it easier to understand and reference
- Reviewing and improving internal processes for addressing noise-related complaints
- Providing easily accessible public and industry education resources to foster better understanding of noise regulations
How to get involved:
- Learn more about noise regulations in Vancouver
- Complete our online survey (closes at 11:59 pm on Tuesday, May 30, 2023)
- Share your thoughts (closes at 11:59 pm on Tuesday, May 30, 2023)
- Email a question or feedback at noise.feedback@vancouver.ca
Next steps:
Your feedback will be used to understand public concerns about noise issues in the city, and to both inform and help prioritize upcoming work. The results will be shared with the public later this year.
